Electricity Precautions
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric
burner, in a heated oven, refrigerator or freezer.
• Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless control is set to OFF position.
• Always turn control to OFF and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool completely before putting or taking off
parts and before cleaning.
• Your indoor grill has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the
counter, table or other flat surface area.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the electric grill (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the plug protector). Arrange the extension cord to
avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement. Position the extension cord so that it
does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other flat surface area
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the electric grill.
On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.
